Quotes that Changed The World: Socrates

"The unexamined life is not worth living." 
 Socrates

"By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher." 
 Socrates

"Prefer knowledge to wealth, for the one is transitory, the other perpetual" 
 Socrates

"And therefore if the head and the body are to be well, you must begin by curing the soul; that is the first and essential thing. And the care of the soul, my dear youth, has to be effected by the use of certain charms, and these charms are fair words; and by them temperance is implanted in the soul, and where temperance comes and stays, there health is speedily imparted, not only to the head, but to the whole body." 
 Socrates
